Rocking and Rolling at the Museum - My wife and I went to the museum last week for the first time. It has a range of music covered and has a Live Aid exhibit right now. Definitely check it out especially anyone who grew up at this time. In the exhibits, there are clothing from various artists and handwritten notes. You can sing in a voice booth or play instruments. Fun for music lovers or history. Highly recommend.

A great family outing - We went here after a personal recommendation and it didnt disappoint. Plenty for me to read about the history of music in Britain from the early 1900s to present day. Lots of memorabilia to view for each era and the instrument area was amazing with my 14 and 9 year olds loving playing guitars, drums and even a singing booth. The staff were tremendous and with the ticket lasting a year, we are already planning our next visit.

British music museum worth a look - Great time, staff helpful, informative, plenty to see. The interactive area at the end was good. We didn’t have children with us but I’m sure they would have loved that

A must see for any music fan - Covered all music from the 50's to the modern day. The spice girls exhibition was excellent and there was a virtual performance by Boy George. You can also spend time learning to play drums, keyboard, guitar and dance moves at the end. We stayed for just over 2 hrs but could have stayed longer!

It takes about two hours... - It takes about two hours to do justice to this. Lots to read and see, and I liked the central ‘stage’ with various hologram performances. We also enjoyed messing around with the instruments at the end of the display. Teenagers would love this bit.

At the heart of the music - For those like me who grew up on bread and Brit music the museum represents a blast from the past (living in the present) and an emotion to be enjoyed, on the waves of the best music of the last fifty years, among unique memories in the window, costumes, musical instruments and images of all kinds. Beautiful idea of the corner where you try the instruments, my 7-year-old son excited to try an electric guitar and a drum... There is something for everyone, young and old, well organized museum. A must for Liverpool.

Disappointing visit - Refused entry as a few minutes over last admission. Even told staff it was due to disability of family members makes daily outdoor trips a challenge to attend places. Staff member couldn’t care less Not a disability positive experience at all

Abysmal - A very bitter disappointment, do not bother going unless you are studying music or a Bob Geldof fanatic or you have enough money to waste!! £42 for a 10 minute experience with technology that doesn't work!!!! Its one tiny room with a couple of outfits in. Been fighting for at least a partial refund as it was just extortionate to be told its for charity when actually "very penny of your entry price goes into supporting British music by maintaining and improving our collection and supporting our charitable aims, including subsidising our wonderful education programme and supporting budding British artists." Doesn't sound very charitable to me!! Save your money and go to the Cavern Club or even better a free museum that's 4 storeys high is more enjoyable and you can make a donation only if you want to!!!
